James Harrison makes bold claim about Patriots cheating

Former Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots linebacker James Harrison made a bold claim this week, saying the Patriots cheated during his playing days.

Harrison got to see both sides of the equation, as he played for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2002-2012. He played with the Cincinnati Bengals for one year in 2013 before rejoining the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2014-2017. He then went to New England for the final year of his career in 2017, recording two sacks and a forced fumble in one regular season appearance.

Despite his accusations, Harrison insisted that the Patriots organization was clean by the time he played in his final season.
